Chapter 162 -162: Forced to Accept the Fu Family
“Little brother, you may hate Qiaoqiao, but I like her. You don’t need to try to belittle her in front of me. I don’t mind any of her behaviors.”
Sang Shen could feel his younger brother’s strong sense of sarcasm. Ever since they were little, his brother had always carried himself with an air of superiority, and aside from the few years he treated Jiaojiao well, he had hardly ever seen him act like a ‘normal’ person.
Or maybe in his brother’s eyes, no one but himself was worth looking up to.
“Just telling it like it is. If you don’t want to listen, you can keep deluding yourself. I don’t feel like saying more.”
Sang Qingran was like someone whose bubble had been burst, his face changing color for a moment before he quickly recomposed himself.
“Your leg surgery will be performed by my senior brother tomorrow.” Leaving these words behind, Sang Qingran walked away.
Sang Shen watched his departing figure and reflected on the news he heard, his expression still indifferent. To his heart, there seemed to be only one important thing left.
And that was something he would never be able to accomplish.

On the day Li Qingyan was discharged from the hospital, Sang Qiao happened to be passing by and came to pick him up. The wire stunt incident turned out to be due to staff negligence and was severely punished.
Although Sang Qiao had promised him a song, Li Qingyan’s mood was still not very uplifted.
If he hadn’t injured his leg that day, by this time, he would’ve finished shooting and it wouldn’t be long before he could see his drama aired on TV.
“Cheer up. I’ll have someone look for other audition opportunities for you,” Sang Qiao noticed he was distracted and softly comforted him.
“Okay, thank you, Sister Qiao.” Li Qingyan managed a forced smile, trying to make himself appear alright.
As the two descended the stairs, they encountered Su Nuanying, with a slight bulge in her abdomen. She was holding a medical report, and her face seemed much more haggard than before.
Su Nuanying also saw Sang Qiao, and her eyes turned red instantly. She bit her lower lip, “Cousin.”
“Mhm.” Sang Qiao responded gently, already aware of the tough times Su Nuanying was going through, without needing to ask.
She didn’t stay any longer, following Li Qingyan downstairs.
Su Nuanying held the medical report, feeling even more aggrieved. Her cousin would come to pick up her company’s actor from the hospital, yet for something as important as her prenatal checkup, Fu Xing couldn’t be with her.
Was Fu Xing busier than her cousin?
Moreover, she had recently been doing practically all of the housework at home, suffering from backaches with no one to care for her.
She couldn’t stand the smell of fish, but Mrs. Fu loved eating fish, and it was almost always on the table. Whenever she gagged, Mrs. Fu would call her pretentious and even tell her to go eat in the kitchen.
Thinking back on all this, Su Nuanying increasingly doubted whether her choice had been right.
Her hands trembling, she took out her phone and called Fu Xing. It rang for a long time before he picked up, “Xingxing, my stomach really hurts, can you come and take me home…”
“Stop making trouble. Take a taxi or call mom.” Fu Xing’s voice sounded slightly impatient from the other end.
Su Nuanying felt even worse. Before, whenever she was slightly unwell, he would drop everything to see her, and more so, he knew full well his mother didn’t like her.
Who knows how she might berate her if she came to pick her up.
“Do you not love me anymore?”
“Xingxing, don’t be unreasonable. I’m at work. I need to find a way to make money to support us. Your parents don’t accept us. I have to work hard to achieve something to make them accept you, understand?”
“They don’t need to accept me, even if they never acknowledge… it doesn’t matter.”
Su Nuanying never felt she needed her parents’ acceptance nor did she care for the Su family’s money.
She just wanted to be loved and cared for.
Fu Xing was utterly annoyed on the other side of the screen. He truly couldn’t fathom what was going through Su Nuanying’s mind. Could she really just discard the ample Su Family fortune like that?
Instead of crafting a plan to reconcile with Mr. and Mrs. Su, she spent her days posturing. What was the use? In the end, she was just living off him for free.
If Mr. and Mrs. Su refused to acknowledge Su Nuanying for the rest of their lives, he didn’t even know why he had married this woman. The thought alone was enough to make his frustration unstoppable.
He didn’t wish to say any more, “Xingxing, I have to hang up now. If there’s anything, call Mom.”
“Wait…!” Su Nuanying’s voice was urgent, but the phone had already been disconnected, leaving only the busy tone. She crouched down, hugged her knees, and burst into sobs.
Fu Xing had changed. He used to let her hang up the call, and he certainly wouldn’t have hung up so abruptly without letting her finish her sentence, like he did just now.
Su Nuanying touched her stomach, feeling entirely at a loss for the first time.
In the end, she couldn’t hold back the distress in her heart and called Granny Su.
Granny Su quickly sent a driver to pick her up.

As Su Nuanying poured out all her sorrow and grievances, Granny Su listened, her heart aching for her granddaughter.
But seeing her granddaughter heavily pregnant, there was nothing she could do. The situation had progressed too far to turn back now.
In the evening, after sending Su Nuanying back to the Fu Family, Granny Su made a call to Mr. Su.
After all, if the parents didn’t acknowledge the marriage, there was no one to stand up for the child if she faced mistreatment. As an old woman, she had even less of a say in the matter.
Yet the person who responded to Granny Su’s words was Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su said bitterly, “I’ve always said that Fu Xing is not the right one. I disagreed with their relationship from the start. Su Nuanying went ahead and shamelessly moved into his home and got pregnant to defy us. She has only herself to blame for the current situation!”
Mrs. Su finished her tirade feeling angry yet pained at heart.
“Tell her that they’re still not legally married, they’ve only had the wedding ceremony. It’s not too late to come back.”
“Xingxing’s intention is… she doesn’t want to come back. Why don’t you just accept the Fu Family and make sure all the owed formalities are dealt with?” Granny Su said with difficulty, making a suggestion.
The other end of the phone fell silent for a long while.
Mrs. Su finally sighed deeply, “I’ll be free in a couple of days. I’ll arrange a dinner meeting then.”
“Sure, sure, sure, I’ll tell Xingxing right away.” Granny Su was overjoyed, her smile so wide she couldn’t close her mouth.
After hanging up the phone, she immediately went to tell Su Nuanying the news.

Sang Qiao had been visiting the hospital frequently recently. She had just seen Li Qingyan discharged and then heard that Lu Anchi had been admitted.
When she arrived at the hospital, she frowned slightly. Was it just bad luck recently? Why were her artists ending up hospitalized one after another?
Lu Anchi’s agent looked guilty, “Sister Qiao, it’s all my fault. I didn’t make sure Brother An Chi took his medication properly, causing his stomach condition to relapse.”
“Be careful in the future.” Sang Qiao looked at her pale-faced artist lying on the hospital bed and wondered if perhaps she had been filling his schedule with too much work recently.
“Yes.”
“Sister Qiao, I’m fine. I just missed one meal, don’t worry,” said Lu Anchi with a weak smile, not wanting Sister Qiao to worry about him.
He had been so focused on finishing a few reshoots in the car before he could eat, fearing it would affect the next schedule. He hadn’t anticipated such unbearable stomach pain.
“From now on, you can’t miss a single meal, and don’t pack your schedule too tightly. You need to balance work and rest,” Sang Qiao spoke in a calm voice, knowing it probably wasn’t just one missed meal.
